FEATURES

Of your Breville Variable Temperature Kettle™

Hold Temp Function

The Variable Temperature Kettle™ offers a convenient HOLD TEMP function that can be used before, during or on completion of the water heating cycle.

When the water has reached the selected temperature, the HOLD TEMP function will hold the selected temperature for 20 minutes.

If the 212^ button is selected when using the HOLD TEMP function, the boiled water will remain at approximately 200^ Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

To activate the HOLD TEMP function, first press the desired water temperature button from the five options on the control panel. Then press the HOLD TEMP button, followed by the START/ CANCEL button to commence heating the water.

Alternatively, the HOLD TEMP button can be activated at any time during the heating cycle and/or within one minute after the heating cycle has completed.

If the kettle is removed from the power base during the HOLD TEMP function the kettle will automatically switch off.

NOTE:

If temperature is changed during the HOLD TEMP function, the START/CANCEL button surround will illuminate in red.

Variable Temperature Control

The variable electronic control panel offers five different Fahrenheit temperatures for optimal tea and coffee brewing: 175^ , 185^ , 195^ , 200^ , and 212^ .

NOTE:

This product is not calibrated for commercial or scientific use. Temperatures may vary ± 10^ (5^) , however still within range for optimal brewing for each type of tea or coffee.

Optimal Brewing

Tea varieties are grown and produced in different environments and require specific water temperatures to allow their unique flavor and aroma to develop during brewing. To bring out the optimal quality and taste of more delicate tea leaves, a lower temperature will produce a better flavored cup of tea. For example, steeping green, white or oolong teas in boiling water may scald the tea leaves and result in a bitter, astringent brew.

Brewing the tea for too long may also result in a bitter, unpleasant taste, while brewing for too short a period may leave the tea bland. For best results always follow the specific directions on the tea/coffee packet.

To bring out the optimal taste and quality of your favorite tea or coffee, we recommend that you use your Breville Variable Temperature Kettle™ at the suggested temperature for your selected tea or coffee.

The Variable Temperature Control Table on Page 12 provides a guide to a range of tea and coffee varieties and the recommended temperature to select on the control panel of the Variable Temperature Kettle™.

OPERATING

Your Breville Variable Temperature Kettle™

Before First Use

Remove and safely discard any packaging material or promotional labels attached to your kettle. It is recommended that before first use to fill the kettle to the maximum level with cold tap water, bring to the boil by selecting the BOIL 212^ button, then discard the water. Your kettle will only operate when positioned on the power base. The kettle will automatically switch off when the water has reached the selected temperature.

Operation Of Your Kettle

1. To fill the kettle, remove the kettle from the power base and open the lid by pressing the lid release button. Fill with the desired amount of water. Always fill the kettle between the minimum (500) and maximum (MAX 1800) marks on the water window. Too little water will result in the kettle switching off before the water has boiled or reached the selected temperature.
2. Ensure the lid is closed and locked firmly into place. Position the kettle securely onto the power base. Insert the power plug into a 110/120V power outlet. The START/CANCEL and 212^ BOIL button surrounds will illuminate in white for one minute. A beep will sound for two seconds. The START/CANCEL button surround will automatically switch off after one minute if not selected.

NOTE:

If the START/CANCEL button is pressed (before selecting a temperature button), the START /CANCEL button surround will illuminate in red and the 212^ button surround will illuminate in white and the kettle will start heating.

1. Select the desired water temperature by pressing one of the five variable temperature buttons (175°, 185°, 195°, 200°, 212°). The selected button and the START/ CANCEL button surround will illuminate in white.

NOTE:

The HOLD TEMP function can be selected before, during or on completion of the water heating cycle (refer page 9).

1. Press the START/CANCEL button and the surround will illuminate in red, the selected temperature button surround will illuminate in white and the kettle will start heating. Do not remove the kettle from the power base during operation. Ensure the kettle has switched off after the water has boiled or the selected temperature has been reached before removing the kettle from the power base. If the kettle is removed from the power base during the HOLD TEMP function the kettle will automatically switch off.
2. When the kettle has heated the water to the selected temperature, 3 beeps will sound, the START/CANCEL button surround illumination will switch off, and the selected temperature button surround will illuminate for 1 minute before switching off.
3. If the HOLD TEMP function has been selected, the HOLD TEMP button surround will remain illuminated in red, the selected temperature button surround will remain illuminated in white, and the kettle will continue to cycle on and off for 20 minutes.
4. If further heating of the kettle is not required, unplug the power cord and empty the water from the kettle. Replace the kettle onto the power base and close the lid.

NOTE:

Through regular use over time, scale build-up in the kettle can affect the performance and the life of the kettle. Lime and phosphate are common forms of scale that can damage your kettle.

Lime scale, a harmless mineral, comes in the appearance of white-colored or rusty looking build up on the inner walls of the kettle.

Phosphate scale can't be seen, however, it can cause the water to appear cloudy when heated.

To prevent scale from damaging your kettle, ensure that the kettle is de-scaled regularly - refer to Care and Cleaning (Page 18). To avoid scale build-up, empty the kettle after use and do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight.

NOTE:

The default temperature setting of the kettle when switched on at the power outlet is 212^ .

When the kettle is unplugged at the power outlet and plugged back in, it will automatically default to the 212^ temperature setting.

When the kettle remains plugged in at the power outlet and different temperature settings have been selected, the kettle will default to the last selected temperature setting.

WARNING: DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING AND AFTER OPERATION. THIS MAY RESULT IN BOILING WATER SPLASHING FROM THE KETTLE. POUR ALL THE HOT WATER FROM THE KETTLE BEFORE OPENING THE LID TO REFILL.

NOTE:

This kettle must be used only with the power base supplied. Use caution when pouring water from your kettle, as boiling / heated water and steam will scald. Do not pour the water too quickly.

NOTE:

Always fill the kettle to between the minimum (500) and maximum (MAX 1800) marks on the water window on the kettle. Too little water will result in the kettle switching off.

Filling above the maximum mark on the water window of the kettle may result in boiling / heated water splashing from the kettle..

Safety Boil Dry Protection

The Variable Temperature Kettle™ is fitted with a safety device, which protects against overheating should the appliance be operated with insufficient water. If this occurs, the kettle will stop heating and a continuous tone will sound, indicating a dry boil error has occurred.

The START/CANCEL and HOLD TEMP button surrounds will also flash in red. Unplug the Variable Temperature Kettle™ from the power outlet and allow it to cool before refilling. The safety device will automatically reset when the kettle has cooled sufficiently.

For additional safety your kettle is fitted with an additional thermal cut out. In the event of severe overheating the kettle will automatically shut down to prevent further damage. Should this occur, take your kettle to an authorized Breville Service Center.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR BOILING OR HEATING OF DRINKING QUALITY WATER ONLY.

NEVER USE IT TO HEAT OR BOIL ANY OT HER LIQUIDS OR FOOD STUFFS.
NEVER INSERT TEA OR COFFEE INTO THE KETTLE. THE LID SHOULD ALWAYS BE LOCKED SECURELY INTO THE CLOSED POSITION BEFORE USE.
